|
I've a friend who got hole-in-one and was witness by the golf tournament
presentatives during the tournament.
Photos and flight mate particulars was taken.
The friend of mine did a mistake that he did not sign his score card when he
submitted but his flight mate signed as ker.
The question is that can the friend of mine still eligible to receive the
prize for hole-in-one?

It doesn't really matter what you or I feel is right. What
matters are the rules concerning the hole-in-one
contest. Generally, those rules are written to make it harder
to pay out the prize, not easier or equitable. After all, it is
the people with the prize who write the rules. I wouldn't put
it past them to have a clause stating that the hole-in-one
must occur during the course of a legal round in which the
competitor wasn't DQ'd.
But I don't know. The original poster might have some insight
into that, though. I suspect he hasn't given all the details.

A hole-in-one is not part of the Rules of Golf. Whatever criteria
they set up for that prize are what counts. Being disqualified from
the tournament does not necessarily mean he's disqualified from that
particular competition.

A hole-in-one is not part of the Rules of Golf. Whatever criteria
they set up for that prize are what counts. Being disqualified from
the tournament does not necessarily mean he's disqualified from that
particular competition.
Were you playing in a professional or sanctioned amateur tournament? If
not, why would you be required to "sign" your score card? Was it a scramble
format or another game for simple recreation, as if it was, you don't
generally have to sign your card. If it was a sanctioned tourney, you
friend may have been disqualifed from the tourney for not signing his card,
but he still made the hole-in-one. I don't feel he should have to forfeit
any prize or compensation even if he was dq'd from the tourney.

If he made the hole in one and it was witnessed there should be no doubt
that he should receive the prize.

Only the folks offering the hole-in-one prizes can answer the question as
the Rules of Golf don't apply.
